Hi Mikayah, you can buy a copy of the book at http://www.csheinz.com/made-to-pray/the-book or just click on the side ad “Order the Book”. You can order from me, Amazon,
Barnes & Noble or download an e-book. I pray God blesses your richly!

You are right on target regarding prayer. If everything seems good we don’t pray. If we are to busy we don’t pray. If we don’t read the bible, we don’t pray. Prayer has been diminished greatly due to happiness, success at work, etc.

I have found a great way to start back your prayer life. I am reading a chapter a day from a Max Lucado book. I read the chapter, pull out the salient points and pray about the points. This can be done with the bible as well. Choose a book a read a chapter a day and then pray over what you learned and your own thoughts and needs. I keep a diary on this for future reference.

Takes anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. Oooopppps! There is the problem. Who can give up 30 or 60 minutes a day in this hectic life. Well, everyone has to search for something to cut out in order to do it.
